Interesting read the point I picked up is the bit where he helped Mark Bonner in his first years as a coach.
On paper it looks like a good appointment. I hope something similar will happen in reality too, but usually you donāt see the effects of work of other backroom staff members.
Side note:
Andy Whing just announced as Solihull Manager

Looks to be a good appointment certainly got a lot of experience in the game which was what was required.
Played under one of the best coaches England has produced in the last 40 years, in my humble opinion, Terry Venables.
Letās hope he gets the Saddlers playing in a similar fashion to El Telās teamsā¦
UTS!

Didnāt realise Knowles started out at Cambridge and was there 6 months at the start of Waddockās spell. Knowles was sold to Yeovil for an undisclosed fee after spending 4 years on loan in non league.

So, as I understand it, we now have one position on the coaching staff left to fill? I noticed this morning that Forfarās manager, Ray Mackinnon, is in talks with an EFL club. Possible?

Wow, thatās a big move. I wonder if big Dunc knows him personally? He certainly did a good job at Forfar last season although they fell short at the final hurdle for the play offs.
That Scottish bloke at Hartlepool last season didnāt have the best of times.
So pleased to have him on board for the journey. If Liam rates him that highly, thatāll do for me. Looking forward to his input.

It was good to hear Liam speak so highly of Waddock. I think we have a very good assistant on our hands

Amazing what proper recruitment accomplishes. Hope he lives up to Liamās experiences.
So pleasing not to have an assistant that has followed the same manager wherever they have gone, but having 2 individuals with their own perspective working in harmony rather than 2 that do it the same wherever they have gone. Chuffed as cheddar.
